Congress Meets To-day.
At highnoon, the last session of the
fifty-third Congress met at the N ation-
al Capitol. _Its life terminates at noon
ofMarch-‘lth next. Our telegraphic
dispatches announce an. unusually
small attendanceid members.“ Our
Connecticutldelegation is full in both

expected to-day, and little else is likely
to be done this week, other than hear-

The Armenian Massacres.
Important letters have been receiyed
by the American Board of Commission.
- era for Foreign Missions in New York
bringing more detailed accounts of the
fearful calamities that have befallen
Armenia.
scores are estimated at from six to ten
thousand, though more accurate infor-
mation on this point is yet awaited
from the English consuls who have
been sent to make investigations. After
the massacres, and said to be a result
of the poisonous stench arising from
the unburied slain, came the horrors
of cholera, which is reported. as carry-
ing off ninety per cent. of those who
are attacked by the pestilence. Tur~
key will have a big reckoningto make
with the civilized world if, as asserted,
her fiendish and barbarous Kurdish‘
troops were sent there with orders to
slay and spare not. ‘
Yale’s Football Triumph.
Yale vanquished Princeton on the
gridiron and atoned for the narrow de-
feat oflast year by scoring twenty-four
points to her opponents’ nothing on
Saturday. Though the sympathy of
the great crowd at Manhattan Field was
apparently with the Tigers there never
was a minute when Yale’s goal was in
danger. Princeton played her best,
but her best was not good enough to
make even a touchdown.
The New Haven students played a
grand game—a game replete with foot-
ball science and strategy. Yale was
strong everywhere and her team work
was almost perfect. And both teams
are to be commended for their sports—
manl‘ike conduct. Throughout the two
long halves of play there was not the
semblance of roughness or brutality.
' Three men were retired, but in each
case it was purely accidental—the re;
sult of the stubborn and well fought
battle.
Our college giants took the advice to
play like gentlemen, and in doing so,
have saved the noble game from criti-

The Supply of Antl-Toxine.
The Herald of to day says that the
first trade-importation of anti—toxine,
the new remedy for diphtheria, has
been received in New York, and great
care taken to place it exclusively in the
hands of physicians having the most
urgent need for it in their practice.
As yet the supply appears to be far
too small for the demand, and there
have been made no arrangements to
manufacture it here on a scale com-—
mensurate with public demand. There
is no reason why‘it cannot be made
here as well as in Europe.
It is understood that the New York
firm which has imported anti-toxine
obtained it Germany at great expense
and with much difficulty. But the net
cessities of neither hospital nor of pri-
vate practice in the United States
should be forced to wait on tardy im-
portaticns of a remedy which has
proved of incalculable value in the
treatment of diphtheria. 'As the season
when diphtheria is most frequent and
fatal is approaching, _no time should be
lost in preparing to combat it, sensibly
adds the Herald.
The Knowledge that Pays.
The Stamford Advocate takes up the
matter frequent-1y referred'to in these
columns of the neglect to thoroughly
ground our public school children in
the fundamentals of a good, sound,
English education. _ The Advocate,
after calling attention to the fact that
Bridgeport papers are discussing this
faulty modern school system, which
they charge is common there, while
the students are promoted to higher
grades, goes on to say that the average
father would be better satisfied if his
child, before being brought in contact
with the higher branches of human
knowledge, were taught how .to spell
common English words, how to write
ap'lain English composition, how to
read, and how to do simple arithmetic.
And the school system that tries to put
‘ airingeol “higher branches” on the.
tree of knowledge represented by an
American boy, beforehe is acquainted
with the history of the United States
and fully understands—so ‘far as a
child can—the sort .of government,
national, State and municipal, under
‘which he lives, is not likely to be re-
garded with admiration 'by mest par-
ents.
public schools will have to begin to
earntheir own'living, at an early
age, in mechanical or commercial
occupations, and the best thing the
' schools can do forithem is to drill them
thoroughly in- the’ "cwer English
branches. If they have natural apti-
tude, they will acquire the rest, either
In school or out of it.”

llDEliDL'Y FIRE.
., .Tw-o Alarms CalIvOut the Depart-
ment.
Five Horses Burned to Death. -
The car 1894 will be remembered in
South orwalk as one of a large num-
ber of incendiary and other fires. The
last fire called out the department at
about five minutes past three Sunday
morning, at which fire five horses
were burned to death.
' The department had been called out
a few minutes before 12 o’clock Satur-
day night by an alarm from box 35 for
a'fire .in the coal yard of. Raymond
Bros, where a large quantity of _soft
coal had been discovered to be burning.
The firemen worked hard to extinguish
the fire in the coal and had succeeded
in putting it out, and after laying a
line of hose from the hydrant on Water
street'to the coal shed left several of
the employees of the yard in charge
and took their apparatus back to their
respective houses. After being dis-
missed they returned home and had
hardly entered their doors beiore an
alarm was sent in by ofiicer Pennington
calling them to box 32 at the electric
light station. Driver McGowan of
Putnam Hose had just turned In when
Captain Colgrove knocked on the _door
and informed him that there :was an-
other fire. Hastily jumping out of bed
he ran down stairs and had just reached
the bottom step when the alarm sound—
ed on his gong. It took but a few
seconds to hitch up and before the
second round was rung he was on the
way to the fire accompanied by several
members of the company who had not
yet gone home from the Raymond fire.
The second alarm proved to be a fire
in the old barn owned by Mrs. George
Seymour on the former nursery proper-
ty fronting on Monroe street. When
discovered th s entire barn was a mass
of flames and before assistance could
be rendered five horses kept in the
building had been roasted alive. Two
streams of water were quickly playing
on the burning structures and
after two hours of hard work the flames
were gotten under control.
The barn Was rented by expressman
Calvin J. Snyder who had the horses
and several wagons and trucks in the
building. The horses were burnt to-
gether with five sets of harness, several
blankets and a quantity of hay and
grain. The trucks were gotten outand
taken to a place of safety.
In addition to Mr. Snyder’s three
horses there were two others kept in
the barn, one belonging to Harry Wil-
son of the Adams Express company
and the other to Frederick Seofield of
the Metropolitan Insurance company.
Both Wilson’s horse and Scofield’s were
burned, together with their carriages,
harnesses and blankets. ,
Snyder and Wilson carried an insur-
ance on their property but. Scofield
loses everything.
The latter knew nothing of the fire
until Sunday morning, when he went
to the barn to feed his horse and saw
the'ifive bodies stretched out in death.
The origin of the fire was undoubt-
edly incendiary as members of Putnam
Hose on their way home from the Bay-
“mond fire passed the barn but a few
minutes before it was discovered in
flames and there was no sign of fire
there.
A large number of people visited the
scene on Sunday and viewed the burned
building. Three of the horses lav to.
gether showing that they had evulently
broken from their fastenings and ran
into the main part of the barn before
being overcome.
The people livin in the neighbor-
hood were awakened by the screw as of
the horses but before they could get to
the building the entire structure. was
in flames and the cry of the now-1-; had
ceased.
Snyder had an insurance of $1,000
with O. E. Barker and Wilson has! $300
with the same party. The barn, which
belonged to the George Seymour es-
tate, was not insured.
Amusements.
HOYT’S OPERA HOUSE.
There probably is not another team
in the vaudeville branch of the th eatri-
cal profession to-day as eligible to be
at the head of a strong company of
farce comedy fun' makers as Ward and.
Vokes, famous as “Percy and Harold”
the country Over. Both men possess a
happy personality and a peculiar style
of humor, that makes their perfor.
mance a refreshing departure from the
time stained and conventional “do me
turn” comedians usually seen in farce
comedy and vaudeville.
The piece in which they make their
debut as stars is “A run on the Bank”
from pen of that clever young writer,
Chas. E. Blaney. Mr. Blaney is a close
observer of human nature and of what
is going on about him. In all his pieces
there is that bright catchy humor ;
bitsifrom real life ; scenes we see every
day that are exaggerated just enough to
make them amusing, yet perfectly com-
prehensible and acceptable. The com-
pany is above the average and the
specialties introduced‘are novel and en-
tertaining. Ward and Vokes will ap-
pear at Hoyt’s theatre next Saturday
night.

Young Frank Loder Found Dead
Near the Tracks, Near
Rowayton.
Left South Norwalk With'a Gem‘-
panion on the 10.20 Train
Saturday Night.
Shortly before the alarm of _fire atfi
o’clock Sunday morning a message was
received at Solman’s stable, requesting
Medical Examiner Burke and the am.
bulance to come to the Bowayton
station and get ‘the body of Frank W.
Loder, a 16 year-old boy of Noroton,
who had been found dead heads the
Consolidated tracks in the out near the
Bowayton station by track walker
Thomas Fithatrick.
When Dr. Burke arrived at the Bow-
ayton station he found the body of
young Loder in the baggage room.
An examination disclosed a cut onthe
temple, two broken ribs and an InJury
to one leg. As no one who could throw
any light on the accident was present
’Dr. Burke had the body removed to
Gregory’s morgue at South Norwalk
and telegraphed for Coroner Doten of
Bridgeport.
It was learned that Loder and a com-
panion. were in South Norwalk Satur-
day night and boarded the train for
home at 10.20 o’clock and that when
the train reached Noroton the compan-
ion went to Loder’s home .in that town
and told his father, that they were
standing on the steps of the car, and
that when rounding the curve near
Rowayton Frank- had slipped off. The
father at once started for Rowayton
and arrived there shortly after. the
deadibody of his son had been found.
When Dr. Burke arrived at Rowayton
Mr. Loder was not there and no one
appeared to knowwhat the name of the
dead boy’s companion was, and the
Medical Examiner thought there were
suspicious circumstances connected
with the case and hadthe body re-
moved to South Norwalk and the Cor-
oner notified as stated above.
Coroner Doten of Bridgeport came
to South Norwalk this morning, but
being unable to ascertain the name of
Loder’s companion, returned home.
Deputy coroner Burke has sent to No.»
roton to find the young man, and If
found necessary he will again summon
Coroner Doten to-morrow.

E. M. Voorhees at Lucky Guesser.
A large crowd congregated in front
of and in the large clot-hing stores of
W. A. Benedict do 00., on Washington
street, South Norwalk, this noon, to
see who was to be lucky guesser for the
pony turnout given away by that enter-
prising firm. Messrs. James Golden,
Oscar Banks, and John McMahon were
appointed a committee to weigh “Ned”
and his trappings and. canvass the
guesses.
They found that the pony weighed
437 pounds; the harness, 17% pounds;
and the wagon, 162% pounds. A total
of 616% pounds. . '
The nearest guesser was E. M. Voor-
hees, of East Norwalk, who guessed
616 pounds and 9 ounces. Others who
were close to the right weight were
Clifford A. Betts of Newtown avenue
with a guessof 617 pounds, and I. T.
Payne of Itowayton, whose guess was
also 617 pounds.

Burglars at Roton. ,
On Saturday, it was discovered that
some of the summer cottages at Roton
Point had been broken into. but noth-
ing of great value had been stolen.
The burglars gained an entrance to
William E. Dann‘s cottage by breaking
out a pane of glass and turning back
the window-catch.
Mr. Dann says that nothing of value
was taken. The DeKlyn cottage was
also entered in a similar manner. and
it is stated that the club house, was
also broken into. An investigation is
being made and an effort made to ap-
prehend the guilty parties.

for the curative effects of Professor Beh-

setting in rather seriously. The most
significant utterance in this respect was
made at a meeting yesterday of the Berlin
Medical society when Dr. H‘ansemann. an
asslstant in Professor Virchow's Patho-
logical institute, as the mouthpiece of
Professor Virchow himself, sharply criti-
cized in detail the whole of Professor
Behring’s scrum therapeutics. He denied
that the serum lmmunizes human beings
and declared that no sufficient proof had
been produced respecting its curative
properties. '
Furthermore, Dr. Hansemann claimed
that. the sheets of serum treatment in
many cases was dangerous to health and
even dangerous to life._ The statistics
thus far obtainable of the results of the
serum treatment he pronounced to be un-

ture was received with great applause

hisses from;thc other part.

against the unmeasured'claims ‘advance‘d,’
,T‘AE'HIYIBOIXES- .'“i ". '
At a receptionjgiven, a, shorttjme ago,
at Carnegie Music Hall, New York, to
Gen. Booth of the Salvation Army, the‘
brief welcoming address was made by
Chauncey M. Depew, who said:
“It has fallen to my lot to address all
kinds of celebrities. I «have welcomed
Stanley, the traveller, Sale. and Forbes,
the journalists, Edwin Booth, the actor,
and many others, but I'feel more pleasure
on" this occasion than on any of those
former. ones. , .
“The General represents the cause of
philanthrOpy: he raises and improves the
masses to whom we owe so much. Dif-
ferent men have different ideas. .
“Some men are won by the. superb ritual
of the Roman Catholic Church, others by
the simplicity of .Methodism. 'Some, en-
tranced by the splendid literature of the
Episcopalian Prayer Book, desire no ser‘
men, while the sturdy Covenanter desires
nothing but sermon. Gen. Booth has
reacheda class that has not been reached
for 1,800 years.' The General pressed the
,button‘ and 10,000 officers and 13,000,000
soldiers did the rest. ' Few men deserve
the gratitude of- the world. Peter the
Hermit deserved it, Martin Luther do
'served it, and Gen. Booth deserves it.”
Gen. Booth then addressed the assem—
bly on his book, “In Darkest England,”
and the philanthropic scheme contained
therein. “My scheme is the result of‘ex-
perience gained in the haunts of vice and
misery,” he said. “In England I made
£7,000 from* my book, all of which I de«
voted to the poor. My book was pirated
in America, and we made not a dollar
from it. This country owes me at least
$35,000; and I am come to. collect it.
“Some people talk of the survival of
the fittest, but our motto is the salvation
of the unfittest. \Ve do not inquire
whether a man is worthy, and rejoice
most in the rescue of the criminal. An?
other of our principles is reformation.
and reformation means employment. In
the immense tracts of waste land which
abound in countries like this, I am con?
vinced that employment can be found for
all men. I asked for £100,000 at first and
£30,000 a year to carry out my scheme. I
got the £100,000, but,.alas, the £30,000 is
not forthcoming.” '
At the close of the proceedings 8. collec-
tion was made. Commander Ballington
asked for $10,000. “Let anyone,” he said,
“who will contribute $500 raise‘his or her
hand.” Several hands were raised. There
were several other large contributions
made by persons who sent in their names
on slips of paper left in the boxes for the
purpose.
FOR SERIOUS FOLK.

- \Vorth Reading.
Men are made rich, not by what the
world can give, but what it can’t take
away.—Ram’s Horn;
Whoever may
Discern true ends shall grow pure enough
To love them. brave enough to strive for
them,
And strong enough to reach them.

When a man thinks nobody cares for
him, and he is alone ,in a. cold, selfish
_ world, he would do well to ask himself
this question, “\Vhat have I done to make
anybody care for me?”
' “The best part of one’s life is the per-
formance of his daily duties. All higher
motives, ideas, canceptions, sentiments,
in aman are of no account, if they do not
come forward to strengthen him for the
better discharge of the duties which de-
volve upon him in the ordinary affairs
of life.”—-Henry \Vard Beecher.
To live content with small means; to
seek elegance rather than luxury, and re-
finement; rather than fashion; to be
worthy, not respectable; and wealthy, not
rich; to study hard, think quietly, talk
gently, act frankly; to listen to stars and
birds, to babes and sages with open
heart; to bear all cheerfully, do all brave-
ly, await occasions, hurry never—in a
word, to let the spiritual, unbidden and
unconscious grow up through the com-
mon—this is to be my symphony.
An Artist’s Error.
M. Munkacsy, whose picture of the
“Crucifixion” gave him such a world-
wide reputation as an historical artist.
has come to grief through an‘ error which
has been noticed in his new painting de-
signed for the Chamber of the Diet at
Budapest- In the new painting, which is
called “Arpad,”lM. Munkacsy has do.
picted in the “Arpad” the figure of a
noble warrior, with a shaven face, astride
a sixteen-hand charger. At the period
represented _ in the picture Hungarian
nobles invariably wore beards, and rode
the small, wiry horses of the country.
The artist’s fellow countrymen criticised
the picture as “a sort on a French horse,”
and refused to allow it in the Chamber..
Commenting on this action, an authority
says that M. Munkacsy deserves his pun-
ishment, as an error so gross Can only
mean carelessness, and an inattention to
history cannot be permitted in a great
artist. >The picture has been placed on
exhibition in an art museum.
Two Questions Answered.
1. Which is the oldest city in the world?
2. Was Rome ever totally destroyed?
1. Damascus is said to be the oldest; it
is spoken of in the story of Abraham.
When it was really built, howeVer, no one
can say. 2. N 0; but it has been “de-
stroyed” and “burnt” several times. In
B. C. 387 it was burned by the Gauls, ex-
cept the citadel or capitol; in A. D. 64
Nero burned the city “to the ground,”
destroying the greater part of seven of the
fourteen quarters or wards of the city;'
the capitol was struck by lightning and
partly burned, A. D, 188; but the" entire
city was never destroyed.--N. Y. Sun.
Good Advice from a Burglar.
A citizen of Orange, N. J r, who forgot
to take from the pocket of his overcoat a
memorandum of. his losses at the race
track has received advice from an'unex-
pected quarter. , A burglar, who had gath-
ered up $1,000 worth of silverware in his
louse the other night took the overcoat
also, but left .the memorandum thus ’en-
dorsed; .~l‘.Don’t play .the races -- they
caused my downfall.” '. .
